Nature Connectors
Our Nature Connectors are a collection of simple ideas and activities for nature connection in your local green space, backyard, or school. Our vision is to have a one-stop-shop of free, easy to use, ideas for New Zealanders to pick up and run with. We have shared simple activities, and then added ideas for extending each one, or adapting it, for use with different ages and in different environments. We have also added supporting resources that are appropriate to use with children. Pick up these Nature Connectors for some inspiration and unleash your curiosity!
Kua hangaia e nga Taupō kākāriki Taupō te Akomanga Taiao Ipurangi hei hono i nga tamariki ki te taiao me te awhina i a rātau ki te marama ki te hiranga o te koiora. Ko te tumanako ka ako ratau mo nga tipu me nga momo tipu o Aotearoa, me te mahi nui a ia momo ki te rauropi. Ko ia kaupapa atawhai ka tohatohahia kia rima nga ra mo nga taumahi. I hoahoahia e te kaiako me te kaiao, kei ia waahanga Akomanga Taiao Ipurangi nga mahi-a-ringa, nga pātai, nga ripene ataata korero, me tetahi pukapuka whakahuahua e pa ana ki te reo.
Share some photos with us on your social media channels. We love to see how you take these ideas and run with them!
